An array of actors, musician, former international footballers and even a firefighter directly involved in the rescue operation will take part in the match on 2 September, with proceeds from tickets going to relief efforts.

Celebrities signed up to take part include Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, former Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft, pop star Olly Murs, model and actor Jamie Dornan and Marcus Mumford of folk band Mumford & Sons.

Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand and David Seaman are among the ex-footballers set to play.

Mumford and QPR have already partnered on a free summer football programme for the young children of Grenfell.

"The Grenfell Tower fire has had a huge impact on the local community, of which QPR is a massive part," said director of football Ferdinand.

"As someone who grew up in the area, personally this is incredibly close to my own heart and having spoken to Tony [Fernandes], he was also keen to continue the work we've done in the community since the fire.

"In the hours and days after the tragic fire, Fulham, Brentford, Chelsea and ourselves worked shoulder to shoulder, uniting for the communities we all live and work in."

Chairman and owner Tony Fernandes, who studied at the London School of Economics, added: "I spent my college days around the area affected and have always felt West London is special. The reaction after the Grenfell fire confirmed what I have always believed.

"It will take years, and in some cases a lifetime, for our community to recover from this. We hope this match, this event, this demonstration of support, will help, in some small way, to show that all those who have been affected are not alone.

"We all stand together."

Tickets for a #Game4Grenfell are on sale here now, priced at £15 for adults and £5 concessions.
